You speak as if PTSC is a "start up" with a long expansive future, it's not.
You equate the mindset of investing in PTSC to investing in a company in it's "infancy", we're not. We have an extremely limited lifespan left to try to conduct enough significant business that might hopefully lead to prices high enough to justify hanging in and risking what little is left of our investment capital that's been held hostage here. This opportunity will end by September 2015.
The 6 year lookback recovery period will simply be a lesser prolonged exercise in mopping up even smaller license fees and winding down the company. PTSC has made no indication that they will look for other business opportunities besides licensing the MMP, to the contrary, I believe they have stated there will be no further attempts at M&A, and the company has not produced a single business plan involving any other interests or intentions.
You speak as if there is untold "POTENTIAL" ahead, there isn't. There is only whatever DL and Alliasence make happen; and we have seen their licensing philosophy, the minimal fees, and the problematic path forward which has resulted; the whole electronics world has seen it too.
You dismiss "Fundamentials", and yet, the "Potential", the speculation you want to convince folks to price this investment on has been a brutal reality check on the stock price for the past 6 years. Stock markets are built on "potential", OTC stocks in particular, yet for obvious good reason the Market has passed PTSC by, choosing instead to invest in less messy and more believeable and reputable risks. Whatever Potential is possible, must be substantially concluded within two years.. two years !
You suggest that "Astute investors" look at potential, but those kinds of folks want nothing to do with a company that it a pure gamble, and at this final stage of PTSC, that's exactly what DL and the PTSC BOD have lead us to become; a last gasp gamble. If most on this message board weren't trapped into holding shares at these gutter prices, we'd sell out in a minute; but since there are only brief moments of price supportive liquidity that barely gets us off the "teens" price curb; selling only drives the price lower. That too is a problem that stockholders will have to manage should we be lucky enough to actually hit some big licensing deals. We've become thee prime example of "Musical Chairs" Stock Investing.
"Potential" is relative.
You say .. "Try thinking in terms of Potential, and talk about THAT".
It has not gone unnoticed that you are unable or unwilling to do this, even the company itself is unwilling or unable to do this. PTSC has to quantify this "potential" you whisper sweet nothing about. Go ahead, realistically quantify the "Potential" that can be achieved in the next 20 months, and how that will specifically translate to a higher stock price; then assign the probabilities of that potential coming to fruition. Be sure to factor in the unknown likelyhoods as well .. ie: a TPL Chap 7 conversion, more TPL litigation with PTSC, the ITC's ID decision, more Infringer delay tactics, etc.
You do not do Shareholders a service by whitewashing the difficulty and reality that surrounds our investment. All you are trying to achieve is to continue to lull Stockholders into a passive state of false expectency, when instead they should be on the phone to PTSC, or trying to protect their investment by complaining as loudly as possible whereever possible about leadership's failures to change the business operations dynamics that they still embrace. Unless someone is happy when the stock achieves 18 or 20 or 30 cents, this has become a real investment disaster for most of the 400,000,000 shares.
